Watsu Therapy

Watsu, or “Shiatsu in warm water” provides effectiveness with chronic pain and a wide range of conditions. The power of Watsu helps you find greater freedom through rhythmic floating and stretching in warm water set to 95 F. Elevating the water’s temperature helps the muscles and joints relax. Many of my clients have expressed that it is womb-like, soothing and safe.
The patterns of movement flow rhythmically to your breath and intuitively recognize what your body requires. Release endorphins as you are swayed held and massaged in chest deep water.
As this is considered passive hydrotherapy, you don’t need to actively perform the movements. Watsu is recognized by the Worldwide Aquatic Bodywork Association. 60 minutes $15075 minutes $175 Please refer to What Is Included and allow 2-3 hours for each session.

“I have had the pleasure of having both a Watsu and lomi lomi sessions with Denise.  I just want to say that Denise is such a beautiful healer.
Denise made me feel so welcomed.
My Watsu sessions were out of this world amazing. I have never been floated before and I didn’t know what to expect. As I floated, Denise moved me in such a way that I lost all sense of space, I felt that I melted into the water and became one with it.

I was able to relax and felt leaving completely amazing. Pure bliss! I can’t wait to make this apart of my self care ritual. ”

"I’m so grateful to connect with Denise. Her kindness has touched my heart. When she knows that I needed help to work on my heart, she stepped up and offered me a short session of guided meditation and a brief understanding about Heart Math, which is her specialty.
My experience was amazing!
Denise explained a bit about our physical heart that I didn’t pay much attention about it before. I didn’t realize that how important it is which affects on my physical, emotional, mental and spiritual level. In the session, I was able to connect with my heart through her guidance. I found it is so important to connect with my heart to support my healing journey and learning self-love!

Thank you Denise and your beautiful kind heart!”

Not knowing very much about Lomi Lomi, I was impressed by Denise's knowledge of the therapeutic benefits of lymphatic flushing. Her high level of professionalism left me feeling relaxed and comfortable throughout the massage.

I felt completely pampered throughout the entire session. I was filled with such a sense of peace and calm, not only during the treatment, but throughout the rest of the day.

Thank you again Denise! It was truly an amazing experience”

My mind turned off and my body’s senses became alive. It was a magical experience that left me feeling so relaxed and it seemed to clear so much stuck energy from my body and soul."
